Pours an effervescent gold/honey with a thumb of eggshell colored head. Very good lacing & good head retention
S: Pears, wet hay, both fade after a while
T: Follows the nose, a little pineapple as well, a little dryness from the oak & some white grape up front. White grape, pineapple, & oaky dryness dominate as this warms, a little pear as well, a touch of acidity as well. Finishes dry with a bit of grapefruit, pineapple & white grape
MF: Medium body, firm carbonation
Drinkable enough, interesting, solid, but not a stellar example of the style by any means

From a bottle at the brewery.
Reminiscent of some of the sour saisons produced by Prairie. Be careful of the sediment in the bottle. This one grows on you. 3.75
A - A brilliantly clear golden color with a thin white head. 4.25
S - Light funk and lactic - 3.75
T - A tart Saison, funky and lactic, vinous white wine qualities. 3.75
MF - Medium body, dry wine like finish. 4

This is a mixed cultured Saison, with locally isolated yeast and bacteria. Barrel aged in oak foeder's and dry hopped.
A: Pours from the tap at the brewery a pale orange/yellow color, that is nearly clear. A two finger white head forms with good retention and spotty lace.
S: Very fruity up front. Peach and pineapple is most prevalent. Peppery spice, a touch soapy in the nose as well.
T: Follows the nose at first. The fruity hops are up front with peaches and pineapple apparent again. A touch bitter, a touch soapy. Then as this warms more yeast comes out with a light acidic tartness, that brings some lemon rind out as well. Just a touch of oak and vanilla. Everything is very subtle here, but makes this deceptively complex.
M/O: A medium body with crisp and effervescent carbonation. This finishes bone dry, and I get this light soapiness throughout. Still, easy and enjoyable to drink. I will be looking forward to opening my bottle.
I do get a persistent but light soapiness throughout. Which is something I am not usually a fan of, though it is very light here. Just enough of a presents to note. I also wish a bit more yeast notes would shine (maybe that will come out more with some age), but I do like the fruity hops and how subtle this is. Overall, a very good attempt at an American Saison.
